Hi! On visiting that URL it looks like the map is properly contained and everything is generally presentable. We’ve got a good guide to making customizations if you need some extra help tweaking things:

Themer’s Guide for The Events Calendar

Hope that helps 🙂

It would be fairly simple to use a redirect to take people from example.com to example.com/events (and there are lots of plugins that could help with this) – that’s exactly what we do on our WP Shindig demo site.

If you want to actually make the root path at example.com the main calendar page that’s slightly more involved and there are numerous things you may need to consider, depending on how deep you need the customization to be. For that sort of change you’d have to figure things out for yourself 🙂

Hi Katarina,

There’s no absolutely reliable way of doing this purely from the server side, though sometimes a technique is used where information like the user agent string is used to make an educated guess about the sort of device accessing the site and a decision is made from there.

The best implementation is really going to depend on what you’re comfortable developing.

[Barry]

I do apologize, I see what you mean now but clearly missed what you meant entirely first time round 🙂

Are you comfortable working with CSS and can you try adding the following rule either to the bottom of your theme’s stylesheet (or some other place your theme makes available for custom CSS) or else within a tribe-events.css stylesheet?

.tribe-events-grid .column { margin: 0px }

Thanks!

Hi skepchick,

A large number of queries are processed through that method – but they are of varying sizes and forms (you could, if you like, think of it as a gateway – it lets database queries through so they can take shape on the other side, but doesn’t actually form them) so that doesn’t really help here, I’m afraid.

Caching – not only at web application level (whereby saved copies of pages can be served to visitors without hitting the database) but indeed query caching at MySQL server level – is one way you might reduce the overall load. The first of those you may be able to set up yourself with a plugin such as W3 Total Cache, the second may be something that you need assistance from the hosting provider on (depending on your particular set-up).

Does that help at all?

Hi Steve,

I think perhaps you’ve mixed up the end of the recurrence pattern (which you have set to September 18, the same day the event starts) and the end of the event itself (which you have set to December 13).

Under these circumstances the event will indeed show on every day from September 18 until December 13. What you may be trying to do here is something more like this:

* Event starts on September 18 at 11am
* Event also ends on September 18 at 1pm
* In other words, we’re saying the each event takes place only for 2hrs on each applicable day
* It should recur every week on the appointed days
* The recurrence pattern should end on December 13

Does that sound closer to what you’re trying to achieve here and does that clarify how to set this up?

[Barry]

Our release schedule is slightly fluid right now but I’d expect our next maintenance release to arrive before the end of the month, though we can’t provide any guarantees, unfortunately.

Thanks again!

[Barry]

Excellent!

Hi Steve,

Can you confirm (by providing a URL) which event you are talking about? I can certainly see one that starts on 18 September and is present on every day thereafter, but it seems to be set to recur every day until 2 October, so I’m not sure if this is indeed the correct event.

If you could also share (by linking to a copy on Droplr, Dropbox or a similar service) a screenshot of the event date and recurrence settings that would be great.

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi Tony: can you try adding a snippet like this to your theme’s functions.php file and see if that helps?

[Barry]

Hi! Can you link me to an example of this? I could only locate one date range in which events show within your site. It would be awesome to see a live example of what you are experiencing, though.

Thanks!

Hi infosws,

We’re still in the process of building up our documentation for the new 3.x releases – but we already have a number of tutorials you might be interested including this guide to the meta walker (which is relevant if you want to use tribe_get_meta_group() and other related functions).

I hope that helps!

[Barry]

Hi skepchick,

We are aware of areas in need of some amount of optimization (month view in particular) and are actively working on this to improve overall efficiency. In the meantime though if adding additional server resources isn’t practical we can really only suggest caching solutions to mitigate the load.

Future versions will hopefully see big improvements in this area, though, if you can hold tight 🙂

[Barry]

Hi rampworx – can you take a look at this thread and see if that answer there helps?

[Barry]

Hi vertzmarketing, sorry for the inconvenience. This is a known bug and one we hope to resolve in an upcoming maintenance release.
